Let me ignore it next time when a tornado is coming because dumbass cops (or pig-adjacent dipshits) keep ruining everything they touch.

What happens if it was actually real? Is there distinction between the two?

In my city, the test goes for 15 seconds while the real thing is like 3 to 5 minutes.

Also, apparently they don't even sound a test siren if there is rain or clouds in the area.

Yes, if it's just a test a voice echoes through the hills, "THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY WARNING SYSTEM. THIS IS ONLY A TEST." This is a video of a similar siren. Now imagine 4 of these super loud and far away.

Now if it IS real, I don't know what that sounds like because the wind is too loud to hear it.
